Epstein Institute / ISE 651 Seminar Series
Tue, Sep 23, 2014 @ 03:30 PM - 04:50 PM
Daniel J. Epstein Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering
Conferences, Lectures, & Seminars
Speaker: Daniella Meeker, PhD, Assistant Professor, USC Keck School of Medicine Director of Clinical Informatics, Clinical Translational Sciences Institute
Talk Title: "Infrastructure for Federated Clinical Research Networks: Design and Results in Behavioral Economics"
Series: Epstein Institute Seminar Series
Abstract: Dr. Meeker will present work that is the product of collaborations with USC investigators in the Schaeffer Center and the Information Sciences Institute. In this presentation she will describe a system for research workflow management that guides investigators participating in multi-site studies through the phases of research. She will show results of a USC-led study that leveraged parts of the system, and how updates in progress were informed by these results and other developments in the research community. These updates include platform-independent design and leveraging frameworks for massively parallel computation for privacy-preserving analyses. She will end the presentation with a brief discussion of the two planned USC clinical informatics systems, and elicit suggestions from the audience for applications and possible projects that might leverage these new assets in innovative ways.
